What we do
WE CREATE ONE-OF-A-KIND WEARABLE ART FROM VINTAGE AND RECYCLED ELEMENTS
We use vintage and recycled materials as much as possible because we care about the environment and future generations. We support other artists, vintage shops, flea markets, antique stores, etc. from around the world and in our own backyard. We collect materials and objects with "good bones" and re-assemble them to give them a second life. Something used is creatively re-invented and something old is new again.
One-of-a-kind jewelry
By utilizing ordinary objects in an unusual context or unique items in an unusual setting I create thought-provoking, whimsical, unique and aesthetically pleasing jewelry.
Found Objects
Curious items from sewing bobbins to a cardboard tube, an Asian relic or an exquisite jewelry find make their way into my creations.

about the Designer
The culmination of over 50 years practicing and teaching interior design, my aesthetic runs from funky to elegant, playful to exotic.
Starting to think about retirement after 50 years as an interior designer I knew I’d have to find a new creative outlet. So to protect my future sanity I took a few jewelry-making classes and became addicted ! This is my passion. I love sourcing materials from junkyards, flea markets, antique shops, other artisan makers, on the internet and in my travels around the world. I enjoy deconstructing each piece and organizing the parts to be used in future creations. (My friend says I look like a kid on Christmas morning when we get home from the flea market and I dump out all my goodies and start taking them apart.) Creating has always brought me joy, and this is the icing on the cake. No one to satisfy but myself. I didn’t go into this as another business but It turns out I’m quite prolific. My creations are taking over my space, so some have to find a new home.
So Many Styles So Little Time!
HOW we do it
The Process of Creating Very Terri Jewelry
My collection is about the mix of materials, color, texture, found curios and a playful attitude. I hope it can be enjoyed for its creativity and uniqueness and for its boldness and sculptural beauty.
SHOP POLICIES:
1) FREE SHIPPING!
2) Returns accepted at buyer’s expense. Full refund given if item is undamaged. Please look at photos and description carefully and ask questions before purchasing.
3) My creations are more about creativity and uniqueness than just the value of the materials used. Because they are made mostly of vintage and recycled pieces I don’t always know for sure what the metals and gems are. I try to avoid anything plastic. If I can’t confirm sterling I’ll call it “silver”. If I can’t verify the the gems I’ll describe them by color.
